MAGA is bringing back traditional masculinity by obsessing over fonts, gold trim and ballrooms.
Mr. Rubio said switching back to Times New Roman would “restore decorum and professionalism to the department’s written work.” Calibri is “informal” when compared to serif typefaces like Times New Roman and “clashes” with the department’s official letterhead. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

NEW: Trump’s DHS appointees have:
• Dismantled civil rights guardrails,
• Protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks,
• Threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests & tactics.

When Maria Corina Machado Wins the Nobel Peace Prize, ‘Peace’ Has Lost Its Meaning

Far from a symbol of peace, the article exposes Machado's history of supporting coups, sanctions, and calls for foreign military intervention in Venezuela.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Pam Bondi fired a top DOJ antitrust lawyer after he objected to a $14B anti-competitive acquisition by Hewlett-Packard.

Bondi approved the merger after HP hired top Trump allies to lobby on its behalf.

Trump's promise to fix a rigged economic system was always baloney.

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.

Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance.

Nothing trickles down to workers.

Israeli forces illegally boarded ‘Handala’ in international waters, abducting 21 unarmed civilians.
Demand your government end its complicity in Israeli war crimes, ensure the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid, and call for the immediate release of all crew members.
